Catalina?

What do you guys think of the name Catalina? I've love Carolina (pronounced like care oh LEEN uh), but nobody would pronounce it that way where I live, so I definitely couldn't ever use it as a fn... :-(.

Catalina seems pretty similar, but people would probably be able to pronounce it :-). I also still get the nickname Lina (LEEN uh), which I LOVE!

I also love the name Catalina by itself, but it reminds me of the salad dressing...don't know if that association would ruin it for you (you'd associate it more with your LO than anything else in the long run). A "word" short name afterwards would be cute, I think, like Rune or Belle.
